the initial one of not choosing a sane default archive type, and not checking 
whether
certain archive types are suited for the group of files selected for 
compression (IIRC,
it tried to make .bz2 archives without tarring up first if more files were 
selected)

and another it cannot do anything with open archives like launch a file from 
it, which is counterintuitive
if they are listed there as in a file manager. So what happened is user opened 
an archiver from the web
using xarchiver, it's content appeared in the view but individual files could 
not be accessed, they needed
to be extracted first somewhere and then used there.

this was in feisty.
